Chapter 4 About My Little Melon?
System: [Yuanruan, do you remember the story of Jing Qie assassinating Qin Shi Huang? The woman and Jing Qie used similar tactics. Jing Qie hid a dagger, but she hid a tinder in the map presented to you. When the map is unfolded bit by bit, she will pull out the tinder and make sparks at you when she turns to the end.]
Yuan Ruan: [Wait, why did you throw it on me? ]
System: [You complained about the fumes of ancient baby oil, but in fact, the old woman rubbed you with flammable grease every day. Now even your hair is flammable. If she throws a fire starter at you, you will turn into a big fireball, which can not only catch the emperor off guard, but also give the ambush outside a signal to attack.]
Yuanruan: [Wow, so vicious.]
Wu Yi: !!!
emperor:!!!
The two looked at each other, Wu Yi wiped the sweat off his forehead with lingering fear, and then kept pointing his finger at Yuan Ruan.
The emperor nodded slightly and made a downward gesture.
Wu Yi understood that His Majesty wanted him not to make it public and to wait and see what happens.
So Wu Yi walked to the curtain and said in a deep voice: "Steady her, and send scouts to check the surrounding area to see if there are any accomplices."
The guards were surprised by the general's order, but they still bowed without hesitation and said, "Yes, sir."
Wu Yi was about to leave when he heard his inner voice again:
[Yuan Ruan! Although the old woman is temporarily under control, she might get desperate and continue to use fire attacks. You should quickly break free from the emperor and crawl away.]
[I try... How can I struggle with my short stature? I might as well cry and coax them to take me with them.]
[No! According to the book, the emperor is doomed to die today! If you let him take you with him, wouldn't that mean he has changed from a fixed target to a moving target?]
emperor:???
Wu Yi: !!!
An inevitable death?
Is death inevitable?
The faces of the emperor and Wu Yi darkened instantly. Wu Yi suddenly stood up and walked towards Yuan Ruan, feeling an urge to question the system directly regardless of everything.
At this time, the two heard the soft child's voice again.
[Pooh! There are fifty great ways, forty-nine are derived from heaven, and only one can be escaped by man! I will take the handsome man away with me, and I will definitely win by half a step against heaven, a-choo...]
Yuanruan persuaded the system in this way because he thought that a baby with short legs couldn't escape, so he might as well take a chance with the adults.
But she didn't know that in this world of patchwork of melodramatic writings, the Book of Music among the Six Classics was passed down, while most of the Book of Changes was lost.
So her casual quotation made the emperor and Wu Yi think deeply.
There are forty-nine things in the universe, and man escapes one of them!
How disconcerting.
The little goddess who could say such words did not give up on them, so why couldn't they be a little better than God?
The two of them looked down at the same time and saw the baby trying to kick his legs and wave his hands at them. He was pointing outside and babbling, and then he was crying with his face wrinkled into a chubby shape.
Thinking about how the other party was trying to "coax" them out, I found this look even more adorable.
The two of them suddenly smiled at each other, and their anxious emotions quickly calmed down.
The emperor stood up and said, "It seems that the baby is hungry. Let's go out and find a wet nurse for her."
Wu Yi glanced at Yuanruan's palm-sized face, which was full of expectation. He understood and said, "I obey your command. Your Majesty, please follow me this way."
The three of them secretly left from behind the main tent and walked along a rugged mountain trail.
There is a person every five steps and a sentry every ten steps, and the security is extremely strict.
Not long after, a loud noise suddenly came from the main tent.
The three of them turned around at the same time, and suddenly dense black spots appeared in the sky above the tent. In a moment, rows of arrows shot into the tent at an extremely terrifying speed.
Many arrows falling from the sky were accompanied by sparks, and thick black smoke suddenly came out of the main tent. A gust of evil wind blew through the valley, and the flames grew longer and longer. The next second, half of the tent was engulfed in flames.
Yuan Ruan looked over and couldn't help muttering:
[Oh my god, is this an assassination or a war? The battle is too much. ]
[This is a common operation of the plot killing. You see, the emperor escaped the old woman's calculations, but when the thieves set fire to the camp, the plot killing arranged a gust of evil wind to help. Now that the emperor is not in the camp, I suspect that the thieves can get lost and find their way around here to assassinate. ]
Wu Yi: !!!
What exactly is plot murder? It's so terrifying.
He looked around warily. The emperor patted his shoulder calmly and shook his head, saying, "Impossible. This is a temporary deployment. There is no one who can..."
He hasn't finished speaking yet.
"Kill!" A uniform roar suddenly came from the nearby dense forest.
Suddenly, eight men wearing green scarves rushed out of the dense forest. They looked puzzled and hesitant, as if they had no idea how they got here.
The emperor and Wu Yi fell silent.
"Kill! The dog emperor is here!" The next second, they pounced towards the emperor like tigers hunting.
"Your Majesty, step back!"
Wu Yi roared and swung his sword backwards, chopping off the right arm of one of the counter-thieves. He then turned around and swung his sword again, forcing the three strong men who were rushing towards him to take a step back.
Just as he was alert, he suddenly heard the baby's cry:
[Ahhh! The venomous snake has wrapped itself around our necks. Is this a plot murder?!]
Wu Yi screamed in his heart, I don’t believe in fate!
His face was ferocious. He drew out the dagger from his waist and threw it violently.
At the same time Wu Yi made his move, the emperor also calmly drew out his sword and swung it.
With a few hissing sounds, the pointed-headed venomous snake was nailed to the tree nearby by the dagger, and half of the snake's body was cut off by the emperor's sword.
At the same time, other soldiers arrived one after another. Some of them lined up in an orderly manner in front of the emperor, holding up shields for defense, drawing bows and shooting arrows, while cooperating with other soldiers, step by step, and taking down the other soldiers.
Yuan Ruan had never seen such a bloody scene before, and asked the system with a pale face:
[Both of them are amazing, 666! System, look, this death calamity has been resolved, right? ]
[Tian Nai, it's not even twelve hours yet. ]
Wu Yi clenched the knife in his hand again.
The next twelve hours were filled with surprises, just as the system had predicted.
For example, when it rained heavily, the big tree where the emperor and Wu Yi were resting suddenly fell down and almost hit him.
For example, when the emperor was about to change his clothes, a hungry leopard was squatting on a nearby tree, ready to attack.
…
In the end, Wu Yi relied on his systematic judgment and his own 100% bravery to prevent nine accidents for the emperor.
Until daybreak.
Wu Yi, who had been awake all night, holding a sword and guarding under the emperor's bed, suddenly heard Yuanruan's voice lying in the emperor's arms:
[I woke up! Twelve hours have passed, and I am alive! Male mother 666! ]
[Awesome! I’m cheering for the boy’s mother like crazy! I’m screaming at the top of my lungs! ]
The emperor was delighted at first, and then was stunned.
It was the first time he heard the term "male mother".
The emperor, in a good mood, sent Yuanruan to the palace maid to wash and brush her teeth. He then looked Wu Yi up and down, and said with a half-smile, "Thank you, my dear minister. This new title is quite appropriate."
Wu Yi, who had a blank expression on his face, blushed.
An hour later, Wu Yi led the crowd to clean up the remaining bandits, determined not to allow any danger to remain around.
At this time, the guard suddenly came over and asked, "General, this old woman failed to escape, and now she wants to..."
Wu Yi glanced at the three thieves tied up beside him and said coldly, "Kill them."
At this moment, he heard what Zi Zi was thinking:
Yuan Ruan: [I suddenly became curious, is the map the old woman brought over before real? ]
System: [Of course it is fake, but the old woman's house does have a real map that leads to Chen State. Otherwise, how could they have forged a fake map that looks very much like the real thing to deceive the Emperor of Xia State.]
Wu Yi: !!!
What? There really is a map?!
"Well, wait. Let's detain him first." Wu Yi changed his words temporarily.
The guard was confused: "Yes."
Yuan Ruan: [Eh, the orders of male mothers are so fickle. ]
System: [A man's heart is like a needle in the sea. The host is right to be more cautious with men in the future. ]
Wu Yi: …
If you hadn't been breathing heavily while talking, would I have been in such a hurry? !
But it’s not wrong to teach the little goddess to be more cautious around men.
At this time, the emperor also came over and picked up Yuanruan.
He shook the baby in his hands and suddenly said loudly, "I have lived and died with this child, so we have some affinity. Why not adopt her as your adopted daughter and celebrate."
Wu Yi was stunned, and immediately understood the emperor's plan.
This was intended to deepen the relationship with the little goddess by recognizing her as a relative, and then bring her back to the palace.
Wu Yi fully agrees with this decision.
Wu Yi then shouted, "Congratulations to your Majesty on the birth of the princess!"
Wu Yi had a loud voice, and when he shouted, his guards were a little confused, but they also shouted loudly: "Congratulations to His Majesty on the birth of the princess!"
"Hahaha!" The emperor happily lifted up Yuan Ruan and said to the soldiers, "Let's have a banquet today to celebrate the achievements of the Great Xia warriors and to celebrate the birth of my daughter. Offer sacrifices to the heavens, pray for blessings, and let the banquet begin!"
"Long live His Majesty! Long live Daxia!" the soldiers shouted excitedly.
In a moment, an area suitable for sitting was cleared in front, and the palace maids began to spread straw mats and place kneeling cushions. The chefs in the back room were sharpening their knives to slaughter cattle and sheep, and the bodyguards bought wine from nearby villagers for celebration.
Wu Yi looked at the emperor with admiration, and the emperor had a complacent smile on his face.
At this time, the soft and sticky voice sounded:
[Oh my god, I survived. Do I have to fly up to the tree and become a princess? ]
[Ding——Host, I just found out there is a little secret about you and the emperor, do you want to hear about it? ]
The emperor and Wu Yi looked down at Yuan Ruan at the same time.
[Huh? My melon? Wait, I was used as bait by the enemy because of my blue eyes. Could it be that I am the daughter of the emperor who was exiled to the common people?]
emperor:!!!
Wu Yi: !!!
[That’s not the case…]
[What is that? ]
[You are his sister who has been living among the common people.]
younger sister???
The emperor's pupils trembled. The late emperor, the late emperor has passed away!
Wu Yi broke out in a cold sweat: This secret cannot be heard! Is it too late to pretend to be dead now?
